| | The Egyptian Islamic Jihad group claims, as did a few long-extinct early medieval Kharijite sects, that Jihad is the "sixth pillar of Islam." Some Ismaili groups consider "Allegiance to the Imam" to be the so-called sixth pillar of Islam. | | | Sunnis further regard this as one of the five pillars of Islam. | | | In each of these countries Islamist regimes are estimated to have executed, flogged, and imprisoned hundreds or thousands of people believed to be apostates or blasphemers. |

| | Islamic History and Civilisation, Islam in the West today |
| | One of history's greatest crimes is the almost complete omission of the debt the West owes to Islam and the Muslims. | | | It is as if later historians, in order to justify a uniquely "European history", ignored the fact that a vibrant and brilliant civilization created by "Others"—by Arabs, by Muslims, by Jews—by brown and black people—not only existed in Europe, but without whose contributions the region could not have become what it did. | | | How a Jew rose to high office in Muslim Spain. |

| | The Qibla Of Early Mosques: Jerusalem Or Makkah? |
| | The notion that early mosques were oriented toward northern Arabia/Jerusalem insidiously suggests the possibilities that the earliest Muslims did not pray toward Makkah and that the Islamic traditon of a Qiblah facing Ka`bah was a later development, hidden from history by some sort of a conspiracy. | | | A small, defiant, and largely discredited group of Orientalists have argued that the early mosques were not oriented toward Makkah, but somewhere in northern Arabia or even Jerusalem, a theory that challenges the Muslim belief that the earliest mosques were directed toward the Ka`bah. | | | The divisive appeal behind such a theory is rather obvious when we consider that it has been chiefly propagated by such polemical orientalists as Patricia Crone and Michael Cook. |
